In those cases, if you wish to see the o/p it is better to pause at the end rather than go for the command line. If you are expecting proper C/C++ programming, I would say "Go to hell with Windows environment" and come to Unix/Linux environment for which C/C++ was designed for and use the De-facto standard gcc/g++ compilers, which I am doing currently. I goto windows with C++ only if I feel like making a Windows application(Win32 API) For consoles, I usually go for linux(Fedora Core 4). I am currently tryin to learn the linux API to make linux GUI applications. > > > Then, use your mouse to highlight the > > output and then, copy-paste.

I have the 2005 version here(Express edition) and it doesn't imply the system("pause"). Regards AK __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
